<p>Documentary filmmaker Charlie Minn never allows viewers to forget a hellish number of murders taking place daily, monthly and annually in Mexico.</p>
<p>He states early in “Es El Chapo,” translating to “Is It Chapo?” that there are separate wars taking place. In Mexico, it is a war against people. Only in the United States, he says, would someone dare to call it a war on drugs.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/entertainment/2014-11-08/minn-documentary-el-es-chapa-creates-suspicion" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/entertainment/2014-11-08/minn-documentary-el-es-chapa-creates-suspicion#commentsEntertainmentWilliam KernsAnabel HernandezArrestCHARLIE MINNCinema of the United StatesContact DetailsDrug lordeditorElEntertainmentEntertainmentFilmIllegal drug tradeJoaquin "Chapa" Guzman (Shorty)KingleaderMexican Drug WarMexican governmentMexicoNew MexicoNew York CityNightmare in Las Cruces (N.M.)North American cinemaPerson AttributesPerson CareerPoliticsPoliticsQuotationTrafficUnited StatesUSDSat, 08 Nov 2014 06:22:06 +0000William Kerns196767 at http://lubbockonline.comNew leader of West Texas post urges Army readiness in complicated worldhttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-11-03/new-leader-west-texas-post-urges-army-readiness-complicated-world

<p>HOUSTON — Mike Norby is no longer basking in praise over Houston surpassing enrollment expectations in the federal health insurance marketplace. Four months later, the story behind the numbers isn’t as rosy for the county health care program he helps oversee.</p>
<p>Harris Health System — like other programs across the state — hasn’t enjoyed the expected savings from the Affordable Care Act because most of its 48,000 patients eligible for subsidized insurance instead chose to remain enrolled in the county’s cheaper taxpayer-funded medical care.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-08-10/texas-sees-little-health-care-change-despite-insurance-gains" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-08-10/texas-sees-little-health-care-change-despite-insurance-gains#commentsTexasRAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI111th United States CongressBusinessBusinesschief financial officerElHarris CountyHealthHealthHealth care in the United StatesHealth insuranceHealth insurance coverage in the United StatesHealthcare reform in the United StatesHoustonInsurance in the United StatesLaborLaborLawLawMassachusetts health care reformMedicaidMike NorbyPatient Protection and Affordable Care ActPerson CareerPoliticsQuotationSocial IssuesSocial IssuesTexasUSDVirginia MikaSun, 10 Aug 2014 05:38:29 +0000RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI185022 at http://lubbockonline.comMidland-area housing crunch hurts foster care oversighthttp://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-07-28/midland-area-housing-crunch-hurts-foster-care-oversight
<p>Since moving to Odessa in September to work as a state Child Protective Services investigator, Juan Carlos Pacheco has bounced among three homes, struggling to find a place he could afford. At one point, he shared a one-bedroom apartment with six people.</p>
<p>“It was a situation kind of like a sardine can,” said Pacheco, 29, who now rents a room in the house of a family of four. His wife, 1-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son live in El Paso.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-07-28/midland-area-housing-crunch-hurts-foster-care-oversight" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-07-28/midland-area-housing-crunch-hurts-foster-care-oversight#commentsTexasCORRIE MACLAGGANBusinessBusinessCamille GilliamCaseworkerChild Protective ServicesChild Protective ServicescommissionerEctor County, TexasElEl Paso, TexasGeography of TexasinvestigatorJerry MoralesJohn SpeciaJuan Carlos PachecoLaborLaborLawLawMayorMidlandMidland, TexasOdessaOdessaOdessa, TexasoilPerson AttributesPerson CareerPerson LocationPoliticsPoliticsQuotationReal Estate CenterSocial workTexasTexasTexas A&M UniversityTexas Department of Family and Protective ServicesUSDWelfareMon, 28 Jul 2014 05:17:31 +0000CORRIE MACLAGGAN183358 at http://lubbockonline.comDromgoole: New book traces Bankhead Highway west across Texashttp://lubbockonline.com/books/2014-07-20/dromgoole-new-book-traces-bankhead-highway-west-across-texas

<p>EL PASO — A survey of hundreds of West Texas veterans has found that on average they wait more than two months to see a Veterans Affairs mental health professional and even longer to see a physician.</p>
<p>U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke on Wednesday released the findings of a study commissioned to Mathew McElroy, a local official with 15 years in social science research. More than 690 veterans living in El Paso County were surveyed by phone and email.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-06-05/survey-shows-delays-va-appointments-el-paso" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2014-06-05/survey-shows-delays-va-appointments-el-paso#commentsTexasBY JUAN CARLOS LLORCABetoButterfield Overland MailElEl Paso, TexasevaluatorGeography of TexasGeography of the United StatesHealthHealthHealthcare in the United StatesJohn MendozaLaborLaborMathew McElroyMelinda RussellPerson CommunicationPerson EducationphysicianQuotationSocial IssuesSocial IssuesTechnologyTechnologyTexasTexasUnited States Department of Veterans AffairsVeteranWest TexasThu, 05 Jun 2014 05:13:19 +0000BY JUAN CARLOS LLORCA177212 at http://lubbockonline.comAlamo serves 15 to 20 sugary boxes at every Cereal Partyhttp://lubbockonline.com/entertainment/2014-05-23/alamo-serves-15-20-sugary-boxes-every-cereal-party

<p>AUSTIN — Ever heard of the Koch brothers? How about Sheldon Adelson? </p>
<p>If you haven’t, you probably have plenty of company.</p>
<p>But thanks to this week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on campaign contributions, in the next few months even the most casual Texas voter will likely hear about Kansas billionaires David and Charles Koch and Adelson, a Las Vegas casino mogul.</p>
<p>You see, the Koch brothers and Adelson, also a billionaire, are among the most generous political donors in the nation, giving mostly to Republican candidates and conservative causes. </p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/editorial-columnists/2014-04-05/rangel-court-ruling-keeps-big-money-campaigning" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/editorial-columnists/2014-04-05/rangel-court-ruling-keeps-big-money-campaigning#commentsEditorial / ColumnistsEnrique RangelAdelsonAlpineAmericans for ProsperityAustinBusinessBusinessCandidate PositionCharles G.
